Description Christopher Frömmel 2020-01-08 11:38:19 UTC
With binutils (+default-gold) building of nodejs-13.6.0 fails. The default-gold use flag sets ld to point to ld.gold instead of ld.bfd.

Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-08 12:02:21 UTC
ld.gold does not support "INSERT", only ld.bfd does. It might work if you could get it to use the llvm/lld linker script instead: src/large_pages/ld.implicit.script.lld. This is automagically configured in node.gypi from line 316-323.
Comment 4 Marek Bartosiewicz 2020-01-08 14:36:52 UTC
But yeah, binutils-config --linker considered harmful.
Comment 5 Adrian Bassett 2020-01-08 16:14:24 UTC
(In reply to Marek Bartosiewicz from comment #4)
> But yeah, binutils-config --linker considered harmful.

Why is that?  This option appears to have disappeared from binutils-config-5.2 (despite the comments at commit bd195f1e0d49e664119adb29100dbd7a094bd008 in the portage git tree which makes no mention of dropping '4. via 'binutils-config --linker'').

Not everything I build (including kernel from git) is done within the portage environment and therefore configurable via package.env;  and the ability to manually select the non-default (for me) ld.bfd for things that don't support it is really useful.  E.g. 'make menuconfig' for a kernel configuration (I know that genkernel.conf allows setting the linker for the actual build).

I have 2597 packages on my system at the moment of which only 35 are excepted in package.env while three absolutely seem to require temporarily setting the system default to ld.bfd via 'binutils-config --linker': dev-lang/fpc, media-libs/libdv, and sys-fs/fuse.

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic :-)

For reference, this is the build log with the linker script switched as per attachment #602804 [details, diff] and with C/CXXFLAGS+=-fuse-ld=gold. Maybe I simply forgot a step and maybe it should work after all.
Comment 11 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-10 10:47:54 UTC
Ah, but we set this in the ebuild, too:

    GYP_DEFINES="linux_use_gold_flags=0
Comment 12 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-10 10:52:38 UTC
And in tools/v8_gypfiles/toolchain.gypi, linux_use_gold_flags==1 is checked for and that sets:

        'ldflags': [ '-fuse-ld=gold', ],

Comment 13 Rainer Hihn 2020-01-23 12:55:33 UTC
Is there a solution for this issue?

I'm unable to emerge either net-libs/nodejs-13.6.0 nor net-libs/nodejs-13.7.0, with or without the appended patch.
Comment 14 Mike Lothian 2020-01-23 15:34:17 UTC
I've worked around it by building with clang and linking with ld.lld

I already had an env set up for building chromium so I reused that

There are other examples if you don't want LTO or O3
Comment 15 Jan Psota 2020-01-23 18:17:58 UTC
I confirm proper merge of 13.7.0 with env/clang:
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
LDFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -fuse-ld=lld"
AR=llvm-ar
NM=llvm-nm
RANLIB=llvm-ranlib

and package.env:
net-libs/nodejs clang

...of course. Thanks! :-)

[FWIW, initially I simply masked 13.6 and stayed on 13.5 until I had more time to look into it.  I had more time and there were more hints for a minimal workaround on this bug when I tried 13.7.  So...]

Akin comment #15 but more minimal workaround, two files:

/etc/portage/package.env/ldflags.no.gold:

# references /etc/portage/env/*

# 2020.0123 doesn't like gold #704966 (CCed)
~net-libs/nodejs-13.7.0         pkg.env/ldflags.no.gold

/etc/portage/env/pkg.env/ldflags.no.gold:

LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -fuse-ld=bfd"


(Usage notes:  package.env functionality covered in the portage (5) manpage.  Adjust filenames as desired and package atoms as required.  For me, individual functional-change-named files are most useful here, with a comment including the date, a bug number, and whether it's my bug or I'm simply CCed.  That makes it easier to remember the issue and clean up if it's fixed or extend the covered version numbers at the next package update if not, later.)

toolchain-funcs.eclass has a helper function, tc-ld-disable-gold, to deal with exactly this scenario. The ebuild just needs to use it.

This may be true with older versions of clang, but when I use llvm/clang/lld-11, I am getting the same failure as when using gold.

Still present in =net-libs/nodejs-13.7.0-r1

Upstream just closed https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/31520 via https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/938abd9535663d45a8ec88d5fa6acc0af8e8fd13.  It probably does not fix the issue that the build system ignores $LD in at least one case, but it makes nodejs-13.7.0-r1 build on my system.

I confirm that the linked patch solves the problem for me. Placing it in /etc/portage/patches/net-libs/nodejs-13.7.0/ works perfectly.
Comment 22 cyrillic 2020-02-07 00:10:56 UTC
The good news is that net-libs/nodejs-13.8.0 no longer fails with gcc/gold.

The bad news is that it still fails with llvm/clang/lld-11.

Oh well, better luck next time ...

13.8.0 still fails with gcc/gold here, but the same workaround, using bfd via package.env as in comment #16, continues to function.

(I deliberately limit package.env workarounds to specific versions so as to have some idea when there's a fix/workaround in-tree and I can delete my package.env workaround.)

Still present in =net-libs/nodejs-13.8.0 too...

Comment 25 Matt Whitlock 2020-02-11 04:12:52 UTC
The patch in comment #20 applies cleanly to 13.8.0 and resolves the build error (with Gold).
Comment 26 Matt Whitlock 2020-02-23 19:48:39 UTC
Patch is no longer necessary to build net-libs/nodejs-13.9.0 with Gold.
